King Yue took a deep look at Mu Yunyao, and there seemed to be thousands of emotions flashing in his eyes, but when he searched carefully, there seemed to be no waves, and he turned around and strode away.

Mu Yunyao closed the window, inserted the dagger on the table back into the scabbard, put it under the pillow with a calm expression, took off her coat and lay back on the bed.

Two quarters of an hour later, she opened her sleepless eyes, put on her shoes, put on a cloak, opened the door and went outside, and took out the ice lantern that had fallen in the snow.

The snow had fallen heavily in the past two days. Although the ice lantern was fragile, it was not damaged at all when it fell on the snow. She brushed off the snowflakes, put the ice lantern on the window, and lit it with a small candle.

Under the illumination of the candlelight, this ice lamp became more and more crystal clear and dazzling, without any flaws.

Because she was afraid that the ice lamp would be melted by the warmth in the room, Mu Yunyao deliberately opened half of the window. At this time, she was sitting by the window, looking at the ice lamp carefully, involuntarily dazed.

The cold wind poured in from the window, chilling her whole body and making her thoughts clearer.

The moment Yue Wang took out the ice lamp just now, all the previous details flooded into her mind instantly, and she came to a conclusion in an instant: Yue Wang fell in love with her!

This conclusion shocked her so much that she almost lost her composure in front of King Yue, so she hurriedly drove him away.

She has never liked anyone, even if she entered the Jin Palace as a concubine in her previous life, it was just to survive better. In this life, she is full of hatred, and she has never considered the relationship between men and women, so the first moment she sensed King Yue's thoughts, she The idea is to push people away.

Not to mention the difference in identities between the two, her death was also implicated in King Yue in her previous life. Before the matter was investigated clearly, she couldn't get along with him without any grievances, let alone other things.

Even though thinking about it carefully now, King Yue must have been plotted against at that time, but she still couldn't completely let go of it!

In this life, she just wanted to watch her mother and live in peace after taking revenge, and she didn't want to have anything to do with any princes or nobles.

With her mind settled, Mu Yunyao stretched out her hand to caress the head of the ice sculpture cat, her fingertips felt cool, and the chill seemed to be able to erode into her heart along her arm, which made her eyes also turn cold: "I'm tempted for a moment, how can I be so cold?" For a long time, it's just a moment of confusion, even King Yue wouldn't take it to heart..."

Withdrawing her fingers, Mu Yunyao lay back on the bed, tried her best to suppress the mixed emotions in her heart, and fell asleep in a daze. She didn't know how long she slept, but she felt sore and hot all over her body, as if she was being roasted on a fire. It made her frown involuntarily.

"Yao'er, Yao'er, are you awake?" Su Qing, with a tired and sad face, heard Mu Yunyao's movement, and quickly called her softly.

Mu Yunyao struggled to open her eyes, feeling a splitting headache: "Mother..." As soon as she opened her mouth, she found that her voice was hoarse and the pain was severe, and she couldn't help but frown even tighter.

Su Qing hurriedly helped her up, and said anxiously and distressed: "You child, you don't know how to close the window when you sleep. If it wasn't for the mother who saw you in the morning and came to call you, you might be sick. Get more serious!"

Mu Yunyao was a little dazed: "What's wrong with me?"

"Doctor Zhang, please take a look. It's a cold. The medicine has already been prescribed. Jinlan has gone down to cook. You should get up and drink some porridge, then drink the medicine, and then lie on the bed and rest."

Mu Yunyao looked up at the window, the window was tightly closed, and there was no sign of the ice lamp: "Mother, that window..."

"Did you open it yourself because of the coldness?" Su Qing looked at her, and helped her pull the corner of the quilt helplessly, "This is not allowed in the future, even if you feel that the room is stuffy, if you open it for a while, then quickly close it, but Can’t sleep with it on all the time.”

Mu Yunyao nodded: "I see, mother."

Seeing her blinking eyes, her cheeks flushed slightly due to heat, Su Qing couldn't bear to say to her again: "Go to sleep for a while, mother, go down and see if the porridge is ready?"

Mu Yunyao lay down obediently, and then fell asleep in a daze.

She doesn't often get sick easily, but once she gets sick, it's extremely difficult to get better. She always gets good and bad intermittently. No matter how much medicine she takes, it's useless. She can only wait for the sickness to pass by itself. Unexpectedly, I have been fine for more than a year, but I fell ill at the beginning of the new year.

When she woke up again, Jin Lan and Jin Qiao were standing guard with something.

"Miss, it's all because the servants are not good. I played too late last night, so I didn't come to watch the night for Miss."

After waking up, Mu Yunyao regained some energy: "No wonder you, I said earlier that I don't like people guarding outside at night. By the way, when you came here in the morning, you could see something by the window ?”

The two shook their heads: "I didn't see anything, did Miss miss something?"

"On a whim last night, I gathered a little snowman and put it by the window. It must have melted."

"That's very possible. When the servant came over in the morning, he saw water stains by the window."

Mu Yunyao didn't speak any more, rested for a while after eating the porridge, drank another bowl of soup, and then lay down and continued to rest. Every time she got sick, she would be extremely lethargic, and this time she slept until it was dark before waking up. She was covered with a thick quilt, which made her sweat all over, and she felt extremely uncomfortable at this moment.

"Jin Lan?"

She yelled, but no one responded outside the room, Mu Yunyao frowned slightly, and was about to get out of bed after throwing off the quilt.

"Don't you even know you're sick? How dare you come down at this time?" There was a trace of concern in the cold voice, which made Mu Yunyao freeze in place.

"Fourth Master, why are you here, where are Jinlan and the others?"

"Why are you sick?" King Yue didn't answer Mu Yunyao's words, but looked at her slightly haggard appearance, and the discomfort in his heart deepened.

Mu Yunyao, however, smiled, and said in a nonchalant tone, "How can people not get sick if they eat whole grains? It's just that I was unlucky enough to fall ill during the Chinese New Year."

King Yue looked at her with an inexplicable look in his eyes: "Where is the ice lantern I gave you last night?"

Mu Yunyao's smile remained unchanged: "Didn't Fourth Master throw it away by himself, why did you come to ask me? If you really want it, go to the bottom of the steps and look for it, maybe you can still find it."

"You take a good rest first, and then think about other things after you recover from your illness."

"Thank you fourth master for your concern."

King Yue nodded, turned and left directly.

Not long after he left, Jin Lan walked in with a medicine bowl: "Miss, you're awake, the servants went down to fetch medicine just now, Jin Qiao was called by Madam to go to the front yard to do something, so she didn't stay in front of you. "

"It's okay. I'm sweating all over. It's really uncomfortable. You can prepare some hot water for me. I want to scrub it a little."

"Then what can I do? Miss, you have a cold, and you can't catch it anymore!" Jin Lan shook her head hastily.

"Don't worry, I know medical skills. Prepare the water warmer so you won't catch a cold."

"That won't work either!" Su Qing walked in, with a cold expression on purpose, "Mother can't stand it for a while, so you just mess around, how can someone who has a cold want to take a bath?"
